    And yet somehow we're held up as an example of a manager search going off the rails...

    I'm just relieved that we haven't hired Lampard! <laugh>

    First they made Potter's assistant the interim manager while retaining Potter's coaching team (but remember, when we do the exact same thing, it's bad)

    Then they bring back somebody with a track record of being **** when managing not only Chelsea but any team which wears a blue shirt as caretaker

    It's one thing to have three managers over the course of a season, but in the space of a week???

    They were actually quite decent against Liverpool with Bruno in charge.
    Created chances, had a system that was working and put players in their right positions.
    Probably deserved the win and would've got it if Alisson hadn't have played so well.

    I assume that unlike Spurs, all of the coaches etc
    under the previous regime have gone. Therefore at
    the minimum they need someone "credible" to
    do the manager interviews etc.

    Lampard on paper could in the :

    1. CL - do a di Mateo
    2. PL - get a PL top 7 finish


    On #1, at the minimum the longer they survive the
    more money they bring into their coffers.
    On #2, if they achieve that then next season they save
    a lot of UEFA ranking pts while giving their squad
    N competitive games to play in.

    And instead decided, nah, bring back Fat Frank and see if there's any more London teams they can finish behind

    When has legitimately generated income ever been part of the Chelsea "business model"?

    That's a large part of why they had dozens of players out on loan every season, they were looking to raise the value of some of their academy players for the sole purpose of using them to offset the FFP war crimes of the first team

    Nazio have been found guilty of antisemitic chanting, again.
    They've been given a suspended sentence of a partial stadium closure. Wow. Big deal.

    Well as the top 4 in the PL has been decided, who will be shown the door at White Hart Lane or will it be the same old same old?I feel sorry for our travelling fans who have been terribly let down! Lord knows how much a day out at our away games cost these days,including tickets. It's been a very long time since I was one of them and I remember the disappointments too!

    Leeds 1-4 Zaha-less Palace. Obviously... <confused>
    Edit: 1-5. Leeds fans must be very impressed.
